Yes, at some point, you have to risk everything or gain nothing. You can't always hold part of yourself back.
That's why it's easier to fall in love when you have nothing to hold back.
Discussion
And to stay that deeply in love, you have to remain willing to risk everything.
You have to be willing to just end up a pair of poor church mice, holding hands, watching the rain.
If you'd rather keep the house than the mouse, then you've fallen out of love.
Again agree, but are some of the women these days any different to those that just wanted a house, children and food to be provided…now for some(not me) it’s about handbags, shoes, luxury labels and homes. Different generations = different needs, however as long as there’s a happy medium who’s to say what’s right or what’s wrong. Happy wife = happy life for husbands 😂💜🫂
Oh, I didn't say that it's wrong. Not everyone is built for passion.
I'm just responding to the men wondering why wealthy men rarely get to experience such passion.
Love or money is the classic dilemma. Most people get to have a bit of both, or lots of one or the other. Rare to have lots of both, especially if you start off with the money.
Easier to start off with love and add money, I think. Then you don't have to choose.
I see where you’re coming from.
In my experience with these types of men it could be that they have spent a significant portion of their lives building their wealth and therefore not knowing exactly how to relate or respond to having someone beside them. Others could be way too focused on themselves and value their wealth higher than anyone or anything. I actually feel for both, but then again perhaps that’s their life path and they’re completely happy with what wealth they have. Happiness is different for everyone 💜
Yeah, they probably wouldn't be happy with "true love" and penniless. They don't actually want it THAT bad. 😂
I mean, that's simply the test:
Would you give up X to get Y?
No?
Then you love X more than Y.
Exactly 🫡💜
Define true love...
True love is when you give as many X to get Y. So... They don't know what true love is and they underestimate it. They will never learn also. What about you? Do you know?
Oh, I definitely know. I am very blessed. 🥰

Well, I've never been "in" love. There are folk I love like my daughter and my mum. I'm more than delighted with them and certain other family members. They were the only ones who backed me up through particularly difficult moments moments in life. Too many peeps don't appreciate family enough (if at all) anymore.
Family is precious. 🥰
you should make yourself some babies
Do you mean me?
🤣😅 Is he referring to both of us?! This got weird REAL QUICK!
😂 We both have kids.
Sorry nostr:npub1twanjtp3mr0ha65uzhug5xvr9vuh6h2gp52pau2rlxy5ta29qqwst5xjqh. One hyperactive six year old is enough 😅.
